Carter, Falcioni Earn Patriot League Weekly Honors

LEWISBURG, Pa. – As the Bison prepare for this weekend's Patriot League Indoor Championships, it was announced on Tuesday that senior Will Carter has been named M-F Athletic Patriot League Male Track Athlete of the Week, while freshman CJ Falcioni has been selected M-F Athletic Patriot League Male Rookie of the Week.

Carter's speed has translated well from the football field to the track, as the senior won a pair of races at the Bucknell Tune-Up. The senior ran a 6.96 in the 60-meter dash and completed the 200m in 21.85 to earn the first-place finishes. Both marks met the IC4A standard and rank in the top-10 on Bucknell's all-time lists.

Falcioni was the top athlete in the weight throw at the final meet before the league championships. He recorded a toss of 52-2, now the eighth-best throw in the Patriot League and the best mark by a freshman.

Joseph Breen was an honorable mention after breaking the school record in the shot put. He recorded a throw of 56-7 ¼, smashing the previous mark of 55-8 ¼ set by Luke Webster in 2013. On Monday, he was named Fifth Quarter Fresh Bison Athlete of the Week.

The Patriot League Indoor Championships are set to begin Friday at Boston University. The meet will conclude on Sunday, with the final day being streamed live on the Patriot League Network.
